Hi There,
I looked at the ZFS admin guide in attempt to find a way to leverage ZFS
capabilities (storage pool, mirroring, dynamic stripping, etc.) for Xen
domU file systems that are not ZFS. Couldn't find an answer whether ZFS
could be used only as a "regular" volume manager to create logical
volumes for UFS or even a Linux ext2fs, with ideally, the ability to
create snapshots and clones...
Also, what can we expect, performance wise, from a file-backed logical
block device created on ZFS? Generally, performance is bad due to the
beneath file system overhead in comparison to a physical block device.
Would ZFS perform good enough in this configuration?
Thanks
- Patrick
